Chapter 12: Trick Or Treat, Hide And No Seek

Emily

"Okay Emily, you ready for trick or treating?" Mike asked me.

"….yes. But what about Serena?" I asked.

"She'll be there." Jayden confirmed.

I nodded.

Time Skip

I was out in town. I ran up to a house. The others watched me.

The door opened.

"Trick or treat!" I said happily. The guy smirked.

"Wanna come inside and get some cake?" He asked.

Cake!

I nodded. He opened the door wider and let me inside. He closed and locked the door. He then turned into a monster. I screamed. The monster covered my mouth.

"Hush sweetheart. I am here to take you home. Come with me, your sister won't get hurt." It said.

Rena….

I nodded. He led me to the backyard and brought me to a tree. I came face to face with the man from my dreams. A monster.

Don't worry daughter, I will bring you home soon. Just get some sleep until then you won't have to worry about Dekker or the rangers ever again. I will protect you and make sure you're healthy. Just come home. Meet me at Thomas Hall Park, your uncle will pick you up. Do you understand child?" The monster asked me.

"Yes daddy. But I want to live with Serena."I said to him. It was like I didn't have control. I said Serena but that was it.

"Serena won't survive, she will die." He said to me.

"I want Rena. She is supposed to protect me!" I screamed.

That same monster from my dreams. He came over and hugged me.

"Are you tired sweetheart?" He asked me.

"No! I want Rena!" I shouted.

"Rena can't be here with you. She hates you. Remember? Remember how everyone else hates you?" He asked.

I nodded slowly.

"I am only saving you. They will only want you dead. Now come on sweetie, let's get you into bed." He said. He started to lead me to a room.

Jayden

Emily didn't come out. We went up to the door and knocked. No response at all. Emily's hair bow was on the floor. She wouldn't leave it.

Not another game of hide and seek! We started to head home to make some calls.

The gap sensor went off with a blare. We arrived to the scene and saw Xandred. How can he be back!

He had a metal ball around his chest and stomach. We can see some kind of straps on his arms.

"Red ranger, you meet the end today!" Xandred screamed.

"We will see about that!" I snapped. I morphed and pulled out my sword.

Cody came running in with some sort of gun. He threw it towards me. I caught it.

The only thing running through my mind was Emily.

"If a nighlok have her, she may be in danger if Xandred dies."

"Emily may be hurt. I need to get answers out of Xandred."

"I need him to beg for mercy so I can get answers from Xandred."

I walked closer, so I was face to face.

"Where. Is. Emily." I said sternly.

"She's somewhere safe." He said with a smirk.

"Give her back now." I ordered.

"I can't now. She's with me. She's with me until I want her to come out. Till I know she's ready." He said with an evil grin.

"I will get Emily back. One way or another." I said.

"This is just a warning red ranger. Stay away from my daughter!" He snapped. He was drying out. He was drying out quickly. He then left through a gap.

Xandred

I looked down at the ball of metal on my body.

I opened the top to reveal a window. I looked inside. I saw an hour old Emily surrounded in Sanzu water. Her body was shimmering, she was turning into a nighlok. I smiled at the little baby. I could destroy her right now. She's that vulnerable. But I can't. I need her to destroy the rangers when she's 3.

She will destroy the rangers…

This metal will protect her from the world. She isn't ready for it yet. Babies need to be older to survive on the ship. The metal will make sure she is safe. The metal will keep her warm. I can feel her start to come closer to my body. I can feel her lean up against it. I looked down at her and saw she was sleeping against it. She completely trusts me to protect her. I closed the top and smirked. I had an idea for a plan.

Jayden

Mike came up with an idea. His father and Emily's mother. They will want Emily home. Mike's father, Mitchell, will want his daughter back. He will want his daughter safe. They will be angry parents and Xandred won't stand a chance. As back-up, we called all of our parents. I felt lonely in the house. I didn't have a biological father. My mom was in hiding. She was kidnapped by a nighlok a while back and is now in hiding. Lauren was with Dekker. I still need to find a way to cure her…..

The families were sharing memories of Halloween…..I understood it sorta…..it's still confusing.

So have a safe and happy Halloween. Hopefully I will be safer tomorrow. (I swear a person in a van was about to kidnap me this morning!) It approached me slowly, as soon as I looked at it, showing I knew it was there, pulling out my cell phone in the process, it changed directions and sped off immediately! Like it was out of there….. What made it worse is it was a white van…..So yeah…if I do go missing, VHS van driver is a suspect!)
